Security & Privacy

The startup develops cybersecurity software tools based on technology from The Intrusion Detection Systems Group.

The award will help fund research and support the work of a graduate student.

CS researchers demonstrate that the new privacy method—using differential privacy—is more effective than the old method of swapping, and better protects the privacy of minorities.
About
The security group works on a diverse set of security and privacy issues arising across the software/hardware stack.
The key research goal of the group is to design, develop, and deploy principled solutions for improving the security and privacy aspects of computer systems.
The group has a broad set of expertise ranging from systems security to designing privacy policies. It is a highly collaborative group and most of their students are co-advised by multiple faculty members.
